Tears from Kim Jun Su after 10 years on stage...
사랑해 이 길 함께 가는 그대. 굳이 고된 나를 택한 그대여.
가끔 바람이 불 때만 저 먼 풍경을 바라봐. 올라온 만큼 아름다운 우리 길'
<2012 6=""> '오르막길' 중
The path of love that we have been together, and deliberately chosen me...
Sometimes when the wind blows from a distance at a landscape
It was as beautiful as the road we have walked through...
(Picked from veteran singer Yoon Jong Shin from year 2012- title: 오르막길)
For the past 6 years, it was a steep path for the group JYJ as Jun Su laughs it out.
Although he has been successful in musical but there're things that still lingers in his heart.
In 2004, he debut in the group TVXQ- one of the most successful boybands in Asia while appearing alot on TV. Along with fellow member Kim Jae Joong and Park Yoo Chun, Junsu left the company and formed the trio group JYJ (The first initials of their names)
However the three left the previous agency and encountered many difficulties including being shut off from broadcasting stations, music banks and fans had a hard time to listen to their new albums.
Even in that situation, JYJ managed to reach to their loyal fans via Internet, media while taking opportunities in several dramas, movies and musicals. As a result even their songs they sang for OST were not been promoted. On April 30th, Jun Su appeared in EBS program called 'Space Empathy' where last March he released his new solo album- Flower including some songs from OST and musicals he has performed in. He felt the pain when he first appeared on the broadcast with 150 people in the audience were moved watching him so tearful.
He sang the songs from his past musical 'Mozart' in emotional tone and the audience brimmed with tears. When he performed on stage around the world, it brings him one step closer to the audience. It was indeed a difficult road for him...
After 10 years and it has been a long time where now the public is able to listen to Junsu again on live broadcast. Phew... I am happy for him. :)
For one thing...I feel Junsu looks like a peppermint candyfloss with his hair color...I guess this new hair color is for his upcoming musical Death Note as Detective L.
Remember? He used to dye it bright red for the musical Dracula.

Sensory Couple's Park Yoo Chun's eating gallore from cup ramen to chic skewers.
Let's start exploring the life of Choi Mu Gak (the character played by Park Yoo Chun) in the drama Sensory Couple. I bet Yoochun has to go over and over the scenes of eating in this drama. Poor him... haha!
Mu Gak's appetite is enormous in every meal. His digestion burns faster than anyone else. The episode ratings for Sensory Couple is slowly climbing from the first episode at 6.1% but now it has climbed to 8.5% according to AGB Nielsen. Fans were enticed at Mu Gak's ways of eating since he is a detective trying to find out his sister's killer.
To everyone's first impression of Mu Gak, they will think he's such a glutton but he has lost his taste palette and doesn't feel any pain. Mu Gak just literally swallows everything into his mouth (making me cringe coz Yoochun is adorable!) but it does attract many attention due to his eating ways and appetite. Nom..nom...nom!
No#1. Eating cups of ramyeo, chicken skewers with coffee
Mu Gak being an undercover for the homicide division ate 5 cups of instant noodles, chicken skewers and finishing off with cups of coffee at the convenience store. Oh my dear lord!
No#2. Venting anger at the Chinese restaurant
Once again Mu Gak dished down fried rice at the Chinese restaurant with 4 bowls of Jjambong noodles. Even where's no black bean noodles (jajjang myeon) to eat, he opts for the sweet sour pork dish (tang su yuk) Geez...he does love his food!
No#3. Cho Rim's side dishes (banchan)- are you a Pork belly style?
While grilling the pork belly at the BBQ grill, Mu Gak was pissed off and started venting at
Cho Rim (played by Shin Se Kyung) throwing the tongs away. Mu Gak's lips were smeared with the fatty oil from the pork belly grilled causing embarassment - it was a cute scene!
No#4. Sushi Eating Style
Mu Gak's sushi eating has gone nuts...the plates of sushi were going higher than their seating height. Even the boss of the sushi house was shocked and the empty bowls kept stacking higher after the refills. Thinking he doesn't have any taste buds, lots of wasabi was whipped into the salmon sushi. However it was a reverse when we see 'burn' fire!' on Mu Gak's eyes after he ate the sushi with wasabi.
No#5. Fried chicken and beer eating
It was a gag comedy seeing Mu Gak devouring Korean's fried chicken with beer. It seems to be a very popular meal among young people.
No#6. The sexy sounds of Mu Gak eating Tteokpoki
The fried spicy rice cakes (Tteokpoki) kiss scene is one of a favorite among fans. Mu Gak starts eating the spicy rice cakes and finally tasting the flavour. Even as a nerd with the eating sounds of 'jeop...jeop jeop' sounds sexy... haha!

Announcer Park Sang Do public apology to JYJ's Junsu
SBS Announcer, Park Sang Do publicly apologized to JYJ's member Kim Jun Su for his rude remarks on the 2015 Goyang International Flower Festival. Park further announced there was no excuse for him to comment rudely on Jun Su. In addition he said that he will support Jun Su's future activities.
On the 23rd of April, Kim Jun Su did a favour for his father since he was from that hometown to make a special appearance on stage. It was an unexpected arrangement and nobody knew Junsu was coming to perform. Jun Su performed the song he sang in the famous musical 'Dracula' entitled- Loving You Keeps Me Alive. After the short performance Jun Su had to leave the place due to his schedules. Park harshly commented that Jun Su left without saying goodbye with three VIPs still sitting around. He even criticized saying it's indeed expensive to hire a Hallyu star. So next year they will need to allocate budget in order to hire him to sing another three songs.
Through Twitter, Junsu lashed out angrily that the announcer did not only critic him but was also disrepectful towards his fans. The announcer wasn't setting a good example and was also a nuisance. C-Jes Entertainment who is JYJ's agency defended the singer and said Jun Su has every right to vent his anger on SNS since Park being the announcer was the main problem. Therefore it was necessary for Park to make the apology.
Once again Junsu took it to Twitter for his fans by mentioning though the result is no doubt disappointing but he has decided to let the matter rest. No grudges were held and that's it.
Poor fella...he must have felt embarassed when the MC said something behind his back and indirectly telling his fans to be good otherwise he won't come back and sing.

Group EXO changed due to Tao's injury.
Unfortunately after Tao's father explosive comments posted in Weibo, the spotlight is back on SM Ent. again.
SM Ent. is seeking to discuss properly with Tao's father since as a parent he is worried on the well being of his son. He knows Tao loves being part of the group EXO and cares a lot for his activities while making a tough decision to allow him to participate in the entertainment industry in South Korea. Tao's father has lashed out on his remarks that if his son continues to suffer from ill health, it'd be better to bring him back to China.
Having to chose between fame-idol status and health, as a parent he would definitely prefer to have his son back for good. It has been barely 3 years Tao debut as part of EXO group in South Korea and he's already suffered injuries to his body. Tao's father expresses his main concern for his son's health. If this continues, his father sort of hinted that rather to have Tao withdraw from all EXO's activities to recuperate in China.
Last February, EXO suffered an ankle injury while filming Idol Championships. Not long after rehabilitation, he returned with EXO's group activities on MNet Countdown in April for their comeback stage performance and his injury has not improved. SM Ent. dismissed all strange rumours that Tao is leaving the group.
Tao himself has taken into Instagram account that he will never leave the group and to ask the fans to believe in him.

Lee Jun Ki confirmed for MBC"s new drama - A Nightwalk Scholar
The entire cast for the new MBC sageuk drama has been confirmed. The leads are none other than actor Lee Jun Ki, Kim So Eun, Lee Yoo Bi and TVXQ's Max Chang Min. First of all I must applaud for Jun Ki is very suitable to play roles in costume period dramas. He has done it so well in Iljimae followed by Arang and the Magistrate. He nailed it off in Joseon Gunman last year. Now he has confirmed to return to the small screen with the new titled drama 'The Nightwalk Scholar- 밤을 걷는 선비'. On the 18th April 2015, the entire casts attended the first reading script session. The actors and actresses seem to be comfortable with one another and it was a friendly atmosphere.
Based from the popular manga (cartoon) themed series- The Nightwalk Scholar is about a mysterious gentleman who ventured into the book trade. With his handsome appearance he has captured the attention of the rich man's daughter. The drama is set during the time of Joseon dynasty and the story unfolds the mysterious story of the vampire scholar's romance with the leading lady.
Lee Jun Ki plays the role of the vampire scholar Kim Sung Yeol where he often hides his grief and love to himself. And by coincidence and fate, Lee Yoo Bi's character meets the night scholar. Chang Min plays the role as the Crown Prince while Kim So Eun's is one of the yangban's family daughter.
Lee Yoo Bi has taken a bit of spotlight ever since she appeared in Mr. Nice Guy as Song Joong Ki's sickly sister to the nosy fan-craze reporter in Pinnochio alongside Park Shin Hye and Lee Jong Suk. I seriously have doubts in Chang Min's acting skills as it was so poor that I never bother watching any of his dramas. I hope he has brushed off his acting this time in order NOT to drag down the entire cast.
The Nightwalk Scholar, The Moon Embraces the Sun and Empress Ki are dramas co-directed by PD Lee Sung Joon. The scriptwriter Jang Hyeon Ju has written the famous drama Coffee Prince. The first episode is scheduled to air in the month of July 2015.

Running Man Epi 242 Global Missions (Jung Il Woo, Jung Yonghwa & Lee Hong Ki)
Running Man decides to use some of their fans favourite games for the new mission for the cast this round. Within 2 hours of posting up for ideas, they received 2000 emails with tons of suggestions from fans all over the world including US, Australia, Europe, Taiwan, Algeria, UAE...etc. The guests featured are Hallyu stars - actor Jung Il Woo, CN Blue leader Jung Yong Hwa and FT Island Lee Hong Ki. These stars seem to be more popular in overseas with their acting and singing. First mission is 3 vs 7 people. Tiger Kook leads the 3 man team by choosing Kwang Soo and Jung Il Woo. But Il Woo doesn't seem to look happy with his slow reaction for his first time in a variety show. Yong Hwa thought he would be picked but the rest settled in with Jae Suk. First mission is from Nilla in Singapore entitled 'What time is it, Mr. Wolf?'...it's a favourite childhood game where the wolf stands right front and the rest are lambs. The lambs asked the wolf the time and he is to spit out between 1 to 8 o'clock. The times are the steps the lambs need to step forward towards the wolf. The closer the lambs get towards the wolf, they can rip off the tag. BUT! Mr. Wolf has an advantage by saying it's meal time and he turns across to rip off any of the lamb's tags before they get out from the muddy water. The rest freaked out when Kookie easily rip off Big Nose Brother's tag. The rest scattered away like lost scary lambs from the water. LOL! 
Jae Suk angrily pointed out Yong Hwa and Hong Ki shortened their steps as they inched closer towards Kook afraid they will be oust. Gary pretends to play dumb as he stood the furthest of all the lamb team. However with Yong Hwa's sprint and quick run took over Mr. Wolf's pace so the lambs win the first race. Jong Kook can't play the next mission since he completed the first one. 2nd mission is World Tour at C-cafe at Gimpo. Jae Suk starts reading all numerous fans suggestion of games scaring the hell out of the casts such as falling from 3-4 meters height, climbing a slippery bamboo tree. The casts pointed out they are not superheroes with powers or Spider Man. Il Woo picks the red paper mission suggested by Indonesia/Malaysian fan- it's about 2 members tie a pencil around the waist strapped to the back. The first to place the pencil into a bottle and lift it up wins the game.
Il Woo won over Hong Ki but lost to Jae Suk. He has to win over 4 members from the other team. He won easily over Suk Jin on the third round. Jae Suk gave Il Woo a nickname- Now Glad, Now Sad. It was Yong Hwa's turn as it turned out to be his 12th time in RM and Ha Ha said he won more times than Suk Jin. Looks like Il Woo's pilates experience helped in this game. Kookie's team wins the bottle fishing game so they get to choose the next mission which is Zombie Game suggested by a fan in USA. Il Woo gets to play as the blind fold zombie as he tries to bite and eliminate the 7 members standing on the blue mat within 2 minutes time frame. Haha and Yonghwa were the first to be eliminated in the zombie. game.
Water Gun Kill Game starts off with Hong Ki lost to Il Woo. However when it comes to Ji Hyo's turn, she ends up spraying the water at Il Woo's face and teeth. LOL! Then when it comes to Suk Jin's turn as expected Il Woo sprayed the water gun easily to his face. However the pot lid from the table flew and hit against Jae Suk causing him to cringe. Kookie's team won the World Tour mission. They get a hint word- WORLD. 
Final mission at night at Taehyeon KBS center where Team Seven is rushing around the building to find the English letters to spell out Running Man- it's 3 vs 7 Bell Hide and Seek Game. Il Woo begins to feel happy that they are the chasing team with bells. Il Woo and Kook ripped off Yong 
And it turns out Hong Ki is the remaining last member of his team to survive when the restwere eliminated. He starts cracking his brain to find the rest of the alphabets.After finding another N-alphabet he forms the word GNA and starts thinking of female singer G.Na! LOL! Useless Giraffe is freaked out again upon seeing his own team mates. Finally Kwang Soo bumped into Hong Ki and done his bit. Hunter bell team wins the final mission.
Jae Suk thanked the guests for playing in this global fan games and thanked RM fans for all their wonderful games and ideas. Everyone gets to sign off on the camera screen with gold pens. Cool! It was Jung Il Woo's first variety show and he won it. Good on him!
